I really wish RHEL were developed more openly. Even without making the
branches public, at least informing Fedora maintainers about when they
branch from Rawhide would already help preventing unnecessary work. And for
some packages, the contents end up leaking out to Rawhide (under %{?rhel}
conditionals) anyway, so I'm not even all that sure hiding the branches is
all that useful. The code will hopefully eventually end up in CentOS git
anyway. But of course I don't expect anybody to listen to me…
